Xiaomi Nepal, after unveiling the Redmi Note 9 Pro, has quickly followed up with a new member of the lineup, the Redmi Note 9 in Nepal. The mid-ranger brings what is said to be the cheapest gaming chipset in MediaTek Helio G85 and an impressive 5,020mAh battery.
Starting with the phone’s camera, the Redmi Note 9 offers a similar configuration (at least in megapixel count) to last year’s Redmi Note 8, which is a bit cheaper in Nepal. It has a 48MP f/1.8 Samsung GM1 sensor as its primary shooter, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide sensor with 118-degree FoV, and a 2MP macro and depth module. The selfie camera’s pretty much unchanged as well at 13MP but with a slightly smaller aperture of f/2.3.
Inside we have the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset which has an octa-core CPU and Mali-G52 GPU. The so-called gaming chipset bridge the gap between the Helio G80 and Helio G90T chipsets. The Redmi Note 9 can be purchased with a 4GB/128GB configuration with an impressive 5,020mAh battery that supports 22.5W charging.

The front of the phone sees a 6.53-inch Full HD+ resolution and a punch-hole cutout at the top left for the selfie camera. The phone has P2i splashproof coating which will save it from minor water drops. Also, it includes a fingerprint scanner at the rear just below its quad-camera module. However, it misses out the NFC, which was seen in the global version.
